GP still makes goo cells/packs, look for 4500mah or larger though as that's more the standard now. More amps and longer run times.

so a new set of gp 4000 or 4500s matched would make for many reliable races? i realy like that pack and still is very solid its just its kinda old and im trying to cycle some life into it cause i cant rember how much use is on it since i got it from a friend a year ago but it still out porforms my other stick packs i use for practice

kind of off topic, but i have a six cell stick pack, but the shrink wrap has come off and the end caps have a short or sumthing. anyway. the cells are good but the pack doesnt work. anyone know where i could buy a kit with end caps and shrink wrap? it would be nice if the end cap had the standard connector on it.

i just dont know where to find it cuz tower doesnt have it and i dont know many websites

My eastpower 4600 pack is not matched, but it is the best pack i've ever owned. Faster and better then IB 4200 I owned. I can only speak through 5 runs on it, though.

ok so EP is a ok brand? i got some tenergy packs 3800 just a stick pack and they work good for filler packs why my GP is chargeing. had a funny time at the track most of the time i rember to charge them but i didnt member how low my GP was till i tossed it on the charger. had to run those t energy cells half weak/dead i hope they wake back up i been trying to cycle them back into life. i need to make a disscharger might speed stuff up instead of killin my motors

any other opinions?
